Holiday Home Ruwan Jungle Homestay  

13 Jan 2025

Ruwan did work very hard to get his 10-point rating, he will go to any length to solve your problems and make them his. He even allowed us to add milk in Sri Lankan coffee :). He also really wanted to show us 40 baby elephants drinking milk and was a bit sad that we did not go with him.

Ruwan jungle home was absolutely incredible. The location is amazing - off the main road so nice and quiet but just a short walk to the restaurants and the beach. The beds are comfortable and rooms cool and the monkeys visit in the morning. We ate all across Mirrissa, but the best food we had was at Ruwans. We had amazing breakfast every day, and Ruwans wife made us the most delicious dinners twice. The best food. But most of all - Ruwan is an amazing host. He made sure we were so well looked after, and took us on day trips - made sure we had all the best experiences. We left Ruwans desperate to go back and feeling as though we had made a great friend. Thank you Ruwan and family for such a brilliant stay.

Ruwan is such an amazing host! He will help organise any trips for you for a locals price, he will give you all the tips for the area and cook you an amazing breakfast for you each morning. He is a man of many talents 🌟 The room is very clean and spacious, it also has a beautiful balcony with a hammock where you can listen to nature. On top of that you get a fridge filled with water which is very handy in this hot climate! I recommend for your stay in Mirissa 🌞

Very good value for the price! At Ruwans you get at little appartment, featuring the bedroom as pictured with a comfy big bed, a modern bathroom and even a little kitchen. Everything was very clean! We also liked the moskito-net even though there were no moskitos in the room, luckily:) a simple but nice and homemade breakfast is served on the balkony, with nice jungle view. You are in 400-500m walking distance from the main road with shops and restaurants and beach. Ruwan organised a scooter for us, picked us up from the train station and offered several rides for free to other places which was more than friendly!! We can recommend his place:)

The Jungle Homestay is situated very close to the beach but also far enough to be away from the busy main road. So you enjoy the quiet and listen to the hum of nature in a jungle setting. The room covers all the basics very well with the benefit of having A/C. Breakfast is plentiful and delicious.

We had two units for our family of five and they each had a private entrance. Ruwan was very easy to reach and he really took the initiative to make our stay as easy and pleasant as possible. He was cheerful and sincere. He arranged our whale watching tour and took us to see turtles.

It was beautiful. The rooms are tidy and comfortable. The multiple trees made the temperature cooler. It was really relaxing to just hang out outside the house. Ruwan was the best host one could have. He was so helpful and friendly and enthusiastic. He arranged pick up from the airport for us, took us around in his tuk-tuk , took us snokerling and surfing. He was also really fun to chill with. The food here was heavenly, it’s a slice of traditional cuisine . Ruwan went out of his way to serve us tea and coconut water when we requested. If you want to experience the authentic Mirissa you must definitely visit.

So happy i booked this place for the longest duration of our trip. The room was spacious with plenty of furniture to store our things including an indoor and outdoor dining area. We had the best villa on the property- little trek through some plants to get there but then meant our terrace was private with nobody walking past. The host was very attentive and always available for anything we needed. He even dropped us off at restaurants in his tuk tuk. There was also a fridge full of chilled water ready for our arrival. Also loved how the bathroom had the feel of being outside without actually being outside. Got to see peacocks, squirrels and monkeys while enjoying breakfast without any interference from the wildlife. The host also has a very sweet well trained dog that does not wander into guest area. Aircon was amazing.

Wow, what a spot! We stayed in a room with a balcony, which was such an awesome place to relax. We were unlucky with the weather during our two night stay, so it was a great spot to watch the rain fall. It was very quiet, away from the main road. The host, Ruwan, is an incredibly generous, kind and warm host. His hospitality was superb. The breakfast was very good! Lastly, there’s a beautiful dog on the property. This accomodation was excellent and we are so glad we booked.
